Biography contributed by Claude McKelvey

Joseph William Mundey was born in 1862 in Yokshire England. He arrived in Queensland sometime after 1891 noting he married Jessie Watson on 17 Jan 1887 in Queensland. However, it appears he separated from his wife not long after and went on to have 5 children with May Bruce Hewison (nee Pickett) between 1892 and 1902.
